Got in late last night from Slow roast at OU football game. I didn't get up in time to beat the heat so I banged out 15 miles on the treadmill in 1:51:06. I had the Ironman World Championship going on the I Pad and I played with speed/elevation controls to keep it interesting.

I had planned on doing 2 16 mile laps. I led most of the way until a 25k passed me about 8 miles in. This where I blew through a hard right turn. I missed a 5 mile leg and only ended up with 11 miles. I went back out for another loop about 7 miles in race director showed up on 4 wheeler and said I cut the course and I agreed and vowed to double back and do that loop I missed twice. This where I missed my turn to just do the section I missed and ended up doing the whole loop again. The course had some good 12-14 % inclines and some steep fast downhills. I ran out of water out there many times as the temps reached near 100. I think I was stung by every horsefly out there but at times they are good motivators to get me running. The good is I covered 40 miles on a tough course and a tough day.
